Ivy Tech Community College in Northwest Indiana will begin offering a formal
course curriculum on Electric Vehicles (EV's) at the Emilo A. De La Garza
Campus in East Chicago, Indiana. Applications are now being accepted
for
this innovative program.

Work will begin on this 2000 Ford Ranger and students will have an
opportunity for hands-on training to learn about the benefits and savings
associated with EV conversions in Northwest Indiana.

As the price of gasoline approaches $4.00 a gallon, the incentive for
conversion to EV's is increasing. A converted vehicle such as the
one
above,
will be able to operate at a cost of 2.2 cents per mile.

There are emerging opportunities for women
and men interested in starting
their own small business in EV conversions.
Automotive engineers and
auto mechanics wanting to become involved either as
a student or
as a volunteer
are cordially invited to join the
Ivy Tech
Electric Vehicle Project.
